Side Pipe Cut-Outs - Normal?

[RJD]

I wouldn't cut that. You need to find out if the engine is sitting properly as well as the body. If everything looks ok, pull the header and see if there is anything on the mounting surface preventing it from sitting flat. If that all checks out I would call FFR.

Thanks Mike. The engine is sitting well seated on the motor mounts. What other way is there to see if the motor is sitting properly?
